In the code below, toggling isCompact wipes whatever was typed in the text field. Can you explain why using SwiftUI's concept of identity?
var body: some View {
if isCompact {
SearchField().padding(4)
} else {
SearchField().padding(16)
}
}The two branches of if/else are structurally different positions, so they have different identities. On toggle, one view is removed and the other is created fresh, which resets the @State inside it.
